CITIZENSHIP Ceremonies Your citizenship ceremony is the final step in the process of becoming a British citizen. Any person over the age of 18 who has applied for and been granted British Citizenship will be required to attend a citizenship ceremony where they will make vows of allegiance to the Head of State, its heirs and successors. At the completion of your Citizenship Ceremony, you will be presented with your Certicate of Naturalisation giving you the opportunity for you to apply for your British passport. Private Ceremonies As standard, you are invited to attend a group citizenship ceremony but you also have the option to arrange a private ceremony instead. As part of your private citizenship ceremony, you can be surrounded by those family and friends who have supported you throughout your journey. In addition to this, you will have a wider choice of date and time to choose. If you need to complete your citizenship journey quickly, a private ceremony can often be arranged faster than waiting for the next group ceremony. Group Ceremonies Group ceremonies are usually held at York House in Twickenham at a set date and time alongside a cohort of other citizens. As a group you will be welcomed into the wider community by a dignitary such as The Mayor.
